Entertainment has it's strengths, go out and play, celebrate your life, and give people an escape from their emotions, if even for a short time... read below, as i found myself wondering whether or not this was the time and place for music and entertainment... ***I've uploaded some new music, but first I'd like to comment on our current situation in NY. I have a general temperment for chaos and destruction, but its time to put those emotions away. ***In light of recent events, carrying on with life as normal has been suspect to being callous, perhaps it's the surrealistic quality of it all, but none-the-less life must go on. You can never be sure how close you are to tragedy, until you are willing to accept tragedy as part of life. Unable to be part of the solution, I can only offer the thoughts in my head as consolation to those that were directly affected. I offered several pieces of music for a few Benefit compilations to raise money for NYC and the Red Cross; I've also offered my time for Benefit events. Having been in the US military, I've become familiar with the camaraderie and spirit building effects of entertainment (USO), if even to pause the brain from dealing with what happens in your surroundings for a short period of time, to escape temporarily is better than to become consumed by the negative emotions we can all easily fall prey to. Please read and forward this message, as it contains some helpful and important information at the end... ----------------------------------------- ***To continue with my own life and actions, I've uploaded a new track, a remix of Dr.Mario's Voodoo Country, to be released January 2002, on New Vision America (www.newvisionamerica.ws), on the Rendevoodoo 12" - Jungle Voodoo Recordings vs New Vision America. Go play this song, loud enough to drown out the sound of the news coming from your television. Just turn it all off and escape for five minutes.
